a philosophical debate about how president obama and governor romney see the debate -- role the government plays in the lives of american people. they have considerable philosophical differences on that. the last section will be on governing, which i do not know for sure, but i will predict has something to do with how they will get done all these things they are talking about, given how polarized and divided washington has been. we are hoping. we are going to be very interested in the reaction from your viewers, what they think about this. through twitter, facebook, are partners, we have an enormous amount of data coming into less about what people think about the questions that it asked. that is a process that will be fed into the moderators for the coming debates. we hope it will give the american people the chance to say, we like this format, we like the witty candidates are addressing this. -- the way the candidates are addressing this. or that they want to get into issues that have not been discussed so far. i am hoping this format and the changes we have instituted for 2012 will mak

they think he is a brilliant debater. same on romney's side. they talk about how obama is a debate champion. and how he has set the standard. what they are trying to do is lower expectations for their own performance and talk about their own flaws a bit and raise expectations for the other guy hoping that we will judge the debate itself with that in mind. there is another set of expectations. how important are these debates? you have the romney campaign in a position where they need a game-changing moment. then you have the obama campaign saying this is just another moment for us to have another conversation with the american people. that is a downplaying of the expectations. >> you have been reporting about the separation is taking place for months, most notably when mitt romney was down during the democratic convention. who is helping mitt romney and who is helping president obama? >> mitt romney is being held by a bunch of people. you have senator robb portman playing the role of barack obama. it is his job to get under romney's scan the way
